@ Gromacs users,

so I did g_dist , and I’m confused by a couple of things. 1) why is it asking 
me for 2 groups? I have my particles of interest under 1 type, namely [ O1 ] 1  
  2    3, and nothing else. 2) I just picked the same group twice, and the 
result is gives me in xvg is the following
There are no distances measured, that cannot be right.


You can't just hope for magic. Please read g_dist -h to understand what the program is doing. Like I said, you have to measure each distance manually, i.e. individually. You need three index groups:

[ 1 ]
1
[ 2 ]
2
[ 3 ]
3

Then measure the distances between 1&2, 2&3, and 1&3. Post-process each individually to get the distributions or pool the data (cat the resulting files) and get the distribution from that, if it is in any way meaningful.

Makes sense; the distance between any one group and itself is zero.
